    There’s only one franchise player in the league and his name is Alperen Sengun.

    Pretty excited we got him, but I wouldn't be surprised if he gets little minutes off the bench or even sent to the G League. We may end up consolidating our roster into some play-in level role players.

    We're going to need a bigger vertical measurer.

    I would pay to see Amen, Green and Cam test their jumps.

    Looks like a good steal pick, though I'm tempering expectations, Tari fell because of supposedly bad IQ, and whilst we saw tons of potential, at times I did find myself going "oh ok, that's what they meant I guess." He must've dropped this far for a reason, but, his tape does look impressive tbh. If he became a plus defender with that kind of bully ball that sounds like a great type of player to slot into the forward rotation with Jabari and Tari. It's a shame Christopher hasn't really emerged as the big 2 way player that they were projecting him as when we drafted him or we could have a solid defensive rotation even despite Green and Sengun.

    Kid is built more like a tight end. He has the strength and force of an old school PF compressed into a smaller modern wings body. Hopefully he can fine tune that for the NBA play expand his game.

    Corey Maggette was a one man fast break by himself. Was a loco motive once he got a full head of steam.

    mine thing that’s imperative that some has to preach is this team needs to play fast. Most team won’t be able to keep up with there speed and agility

    I think Cam is a stockier Anthony Edwards.

    Yes his A/T is bad and he has been described as having tunnel vision, but the tweets I put earlier mentions it was due to environment at villanova. Not saying that’s all to blame but it had to be a part of it

    I think the comp of Anthony Edwards is correct, watch this video and how he compares Anthony and Cam. Cam was a better shooter than Anthony in college and I believe Cam is Anthony Edward but a better defender. At the 6:00 mark, he compares Anthony and Cam
